Good Minds Suggest: Matt Fraction's Favorite Surprising Books About Sex
Posted by Goodreads on June 6, 2016
Vox by Nicholson Baker
"While The Fermata might be our kissing cousin, I'd like to think we have a closer connection to Baker's Vox, which begins as a transcript of a phone sex session and ends as a document of a genuine human connection…steeped in sex."
Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon
"Is this about sex? Is it about war? There's masturbation, the Industrial Age, the end of the world, V2 trajectories, the Blitz, magic, quantum mechanics, everything, nothing…? Sure."
Oh Joy Sex Toy, Volume One by Erika Moen
"The surprise is how compulsively readable Erika Moen's wonderful tour of the wonderful world of wonderful toys is—she's like a naughty Leonard Maltin set loose in an adults-only episode of 'Jackass.' Sex positive AND comics positive. My two favorites."
American Flagg!, Vol. 1 by Howard Chaykin
"Nobody in comics has come near this book for its progressive politics, prescient predictions, or portrayals of complicated, messy, and hot sex. There's not a lot of love, but, like life, there's always consequences."
Slammed in the Butt by My Hugo Award Nomination by Chuck Tingle
"Dare you 'enter' the Tingleverse? Well? DARE YOU? The only surprising thing about the 'body' of Chuck Tingle's 'work' is how much you'll want to keep reading it even after you've 'read,' like, two or three times already that day. Just want to read it all over my damn face."
